Apple is widely expected to unveil three new iPhone models in the fall, and ahead of time, Bloomberg‘s Mark Gurman and Debby Wu have shared several expectations for the devices. While many of the details have already been rumored, this is still worthwhile corroboration from two reputable reporters.
- All three iPhones will look similar to the current versions beyond additional cameras, including triple-lens rear camera systems on both the next iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max and a dual-lens rear camera system on the next iPhone XR, each housed within a square camera bump.
- The next iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will be "about half a millimeter thicker."
- The third camera on the next iPhone XS and iPhone XS Max will be an ultra-wide-angle lens that enables a broader range of zoom. The second rear camera on the next iPhone XR will enable increased zoom as well.
- All three iPhones will be powered by a faster A13 chip, designed by Apple and manufactured by TSMC. Early test production began in April and mass production could begin as early as this month.
- All three iPhones will have a feature that lets users charge the latest AirPods and other devices by placing them on the back of the devices.
- Apple is working on an "auto-correction feature" to "fit people back into a photo who may have been accidentally cut out."
Apple should announce the next iPhone XS, iPhone XS Max, and iPhone XR models in September, but their names are not known yet. They have been variously referred to as iPhone 11 or iPhone XI models.
